YGON cabs. - Est. 2015.

Never had I expected this would turn out like this. One day, I just needed a 4x12 for myself, and the next thing you know, bands like Amenra play YGON cabs at every live show.

I am so damn proud of all the artists that crossed my path and have joined the YGON family. But besides YGON cabs, I am also so proud to have been part of the band 'All We Expected'. Most likely one of the most beautiful parts of my life: making music with three other guys, which led them to become my best friends, even still today. I cannot thank them enough for their presence in my life, the times we had, and the music we made.

But life can take a turn. And even though I tried to keep YGON cabs alive for over 11 years, as I'm writing this today, it has come to my realization that I must accept the hard and painful words that this is potentially the real end of YGON cabs. This turn took place when I invested in this to become a real business. I started a lease for a workshop on an industrial site, and shortly after, I invested even more in a CNC machine. But what happened next I could have never guessed. Orders just stopped. Nobody was spending money on cabs. This was around the end of peak COVID times. Could this be the reason? I'll probably never know.

What came next was my first real business move, and I decided to utilize the CNC machine I have and offered CNC work to my local area. Exactly one year later, orders started to come in, and slow but steady, I felt a turn again.

Today, I proudly run a growing business in CNC work called www.freesatelier.be.

So damn proud of where life has led me. So much love for the people that stand beside me. I see only a positive future for how I spend my days in life. But it still physically aches my heart to say: YGON cabs, end of an era. This doens't mean I will never build another YGON cab.

This website will stay online to keep the name YGON cabs relevant. I feel as it is my duty, as founder of YGON cabs, to maintain a high value for the beasts of tone crushers I made over the years, for the people who invested in their sound.
